Replacement Glass With Backing for Driver Side 2005 Ford E450 Econoline

Livies Dad Indian Trail, NC Senior Member Joined: 07/03/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline	05 ford e450 Class C--Power window on passenger side wont work. Doesnt work off master switch or switch at passenger door. Does not even click. I would guess there is only two things- switch or motor. Drivers side window works fine. My question is -how do you get the door panel off? Any help appreciated.

You usually have to replace the entire assembly. UNLESS it is just a fuse. Look in the fuse box diagram for one that says passenger window. Try pulling up on the panel, once you have the bolts out.

I seem to remember seeing posts about this and the issue being dirty contacts on the control unit (driver's door).

Easiest fix here is to hold the window switch in the up position (we're assuming it's stuck in the down position) as you tap the door panel with a small hammer. Alternately, hold the switch in the up position as you ride over a bumpy road. Both these techniques have been successful in my little shop Nbounder KG7DKF

I told them that it wasn't working passenger side. The mechanic came and asked which one was not working (of course you get there and it's working) He took panels off both doors checked connections and nada nothing wrong. (now of course we go some where and they both will not work) We opened both doors operating the power windows closed and also slammed the doors while operating them NADA, still work. Go figure?

It will quit working a day or two after a "repair." In taking the door apart it will start working. Clean all the connectors and door switch, put it back together, and a day or two later it will quit again. Beating on the door inside and out does no good. I had been cleaning all connections real well and using dielectric compound. This last time I skipped putting the compound back on and it seems to be working now. I go out every day and check it. In a similar problem. I completely serviced my fridge burner a few months ago and on a short trip the week before Memorial Day it quit working. All I had to do was jiggle a single wire having those push together connectors to get it working again. And that pair had been sprayed with contact cleaner and put back together with dielectric compound on them during the servicing. Sometimes I guess things just don't want to make good contact. 95 Winnebago Vectra 34 (P30/454)

Tearing apart the door and pulling the motor and window regulator would always seem to make it work again. I could never find any electrical issues with the switches or connections. One day I realized that since the window always failed in the closed position, I checked the window regulator and found that the gear on the motor had run all the way to the end of the gear and was jammed in that position until I either pounded on the door panel or took the motor off of the regulator. Sooo, I figured I'd grind another tooth onto the regulator. No go. Metal was way too hard. Then I decided that the problem had to be that the feltlike window moulding at the top of the window opening was compressed by the force of the window glass and allowing the motor gear to advance too far and jamming the gears.There is no switch to shut off the upward motion of the motor motor Solution? I peeled the top felt moulding down and stuffed a strip of rubber from a heater hose(any material to space out the felt moulding will do) and that was years ago. The window worked perfectly for years after that until I sold the rv.

After checking the fuses, the next step is to open the door panel and check for a voltage on the motor when the switch is pressed - should tell you whether it is an electrical problem or a motor/mechanical problem. 2004 E350 Adventurer (Canadian) 20 footer - Alberta, Canada No TV + 100W solar = no generator needed

Taking the door apart is a chore, but replacing the regulator is no big deal. You have to jamb up the window with some cardboard or whatever to keep it up, then replace new with old. It has a criss-cross set of wires, the motor, and four bolts. Then drop the window in its slots, tighten, and good to go. Seems way over-complicated instead of a wind up window like the old days. 1. 1991 Oakland 28DB Class C on Ford E350-460-7.5 Gas EFI Photo in Profile 2. 1991 Bighorn 9.5ft Truck Camper on 2003 Chev 2500HD 6.0 Gas See Profile for Electronic set-ups for 1. and 2.
